Other names
The property was known as Clearview from at least 1891 to 1941, but is definitely described on the postcard as Ivy Well Cottage, which is its name today. It seems likely that this was a nickname which has been adopted as the formal name for the cottage at some time since 1941.

Notes and references
- ↑ This property was previously shown in Trinity, but it appears to be on the parish border with St John and is listed under both parishes in almanac street directories. It also appears under both parishes in the 1901 and 1911 censuses. It is unusual, but not unknown, for a property to straddle a parish boundary in Jersey. Sometimes the house is in one parish and outbuildings and land in the other, but in this case it appears that the boundary actually passes through the house
